Retrieve Textvalue from Container

[Bokido]

Hello

I'm trying to retrieve the Textvalue of a Container in the Usercode.
But i'm not able to access the "text" Attribute for the ContainerContentElement.
I think there should be a solution for this , which i've not found out yet.

Hi,

Do you know the name of the attribute where the text is saved to?
If yes you can try to use the following method:

ContentElement.Element.GetAttributeValue("yourAttribute").ToString();

By the way please update to the actual Ranorex 3.2.2 version, here is the link.

Hi

No i don't.
The recorded item is a Textbox and as usual there should be a attribute which is named "Text" with the text of the Textbox but there isn't. So i guess there must be another Attribute.

Hi,

No i don't.

Can you ask your developers if they know which attribute/property holds the specific text value?

Maybe the text attribute is not available through your UIAutomation implementation, therefore please check if you can get the text with UISpy, which is a Microsoft tool and should identify all attributes if the UIA implementation is correct.
Is UISpy able to get the right text value?

Hi,

I just found out a method to retrieve the value.
Text textTextBox = "/dom[@caption='Microsoft Silverlight']/body/div/object/form/tabpagelist[@automationid='TabControlContentArea']/tabpage/text[8]";

string textboxvalue = textTextBox.TextValue;

with the following part i was able to get the Value of the right ContainerContentElement.
